I was at the grocery store and saw these sweet little white pumpkins. I walked by, and here is why.

I'm really to the point in my life that I just don't want to buy "stuff " anymore.

I'm almost fifty-four and have more than any three people can use up in one life time. After remodeling our kitchen, I started a process of paring down what we have. But it is still too much.

I really try to not buy what I don't need. The days of buying things for a blog post are over. I have decided that the blog is no longer going to be a possible means of income. It is just going to be what it was originally designed to be. An on line journal and log of whatever. Meaning: whatever I'm currently doing. That might be decorating, remodeling, books, bible journaling, my faith, tablescapes, and/or crafting.

SO!

That being said, you won't see regular posts, or a general theme. And, while I won't guarantee this, you most likely won't see ads. (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with monitizing your blog) I probably won't be changing my blog to follow any trends that seem to run through the blog-us-phere. Although, trust me, I am always tempted to chase that rabbit. There are so many beautiful blogs out there that I love. They all do a great job of capturing their audience and keeping them. But it is an endless job and I already have a job that I like. This blog is about my "fun" and my sharing it with you. Sounds totally selfish now that I read it. hmmm.

Well, I hope you don't mind and I hope you'll keep checking in.

Oh! and about the title ...

I couldn't stop thinking about the cute pumpkins... So I went back to the floral department and got them. I know, your eyes are rolling. Now, every time I walk by them I think of the old Billy Idol song "It's a nice day for a white pumpkin...." I mean white wedding.

Oh, I totally get it about the blog! I have never found my niche in blog land and often thought of quitting all together, but then I thought, "What the heck? It's my blog, I can write about whatever and whenever it suits my fancy and if I am fortunate enough to have some lovely blogging friends, great!"Deb

I hope you like my ideas and I love sharing my thoughts, but don't use any of my photographs, images or writing without my permission. I can't imagine that I would say no... but at least be kind enough to give me the opportunity. Please and Thanks!
